On the evening of December 25, 1941, in order to enjoy the beautiful mountains and rivers of the motherland for the last time, more than 30 Japanese officers and soldiers on the warships gathered on the deck, staring at the silver-covered islands not far away in front of them, and the snow-capped mountains. Then they expressed their passion in a nearly howling manner, and then held their oaths under them. Finally, they opened the pre-prepared wine and delicacies, sang and danced, and stopped drunk.

No one knows whether he can return to Japan and see the waves of Danguanwan next year.

Before dawn the next day, the sky was covered with clouds and mist, the cold wind was howling, mixed with large snowflakes, giving the final farewell to the Japanese fleet.

At 6 a.m. local time, six aircraft carriers led by the Akagi aircraft carrier were slowly set off. The most powerful maneuver fleet in the history of the Japanese naval led by Tadaichi Nagamo, embarked on a long journey of sneak attack.

At this time, the fleet had maintained a high alert state, breaking through the waves and moving forward without hesitation.

On the aircraft carrier, Zero fighters are all installed on standby, and even the propellers are turned to the "start" position at any time. In order to give the pilot enough rest time, the dedicated mechanics have been waiting by the edge of the fighter, and the canopy covers are all opened so that the pilot can jump in when necessary. After all, there are too many uncertainties on the road ahead. The carrier-based aircraft is the sharp teeth of the aircraft carrier, and the iron fist of the aircraft carrier. As long as the carrier-based aircraft is there, the aircraft carrier will have a deterrent effect.

The mountains in the distance are rolling and undulating under the snow, which is very spectacular, with plain and beautiful and enchanting mountains.

As the sound and wind roared, all Japanese sailors and pilots felt that they were flying eagles in the air, spreading their wings and surrounding them, overlooking the endless sea, thrust into the sky, waiting for the opportunity to show off their skills.

Just as the aircraft carrier [Akagi] led the fleet out of the Single Crown Bay and embarked on the expedition, Zhou Zhihan, who was far away in Pearl Harbor in the United States, also led his team members to start a new day.

At 7:28 Pearl Harbor local time, Zhou Zhihan led two fighter squadrons to complete the assembly, and then flew around Pearl Harbor for two rounds. Although the pilots closed their eyes and could know the air conditioning over Pearl Harbor, the chief instructor said that every pilot would need to record exactly how long it would take to fly from Pearl Harbor to the mountains of Oahu?

Then imagine, if Pearl Harbor is subjected to an enemy air strike, how long will it take for them to return to defense?

Where can we return from to defend from the best way to curb the enemy's attack?

If you were the enemy bomber pilot, where would you attack the warships in Pearl Harbor from?

The pilots of the second squadron were stupid. This... the amount of information is a bit large!

Before this, no instructor had taught them these, no one had ever thought about these, and no one had ever thought about them one day Pearl Harbor would be attacked by the enemy.

But regardless of whether Pearl Harbor will be attacked by the enemy, the question raised by Chief Instructor Zhou made everyone suddenly feel that air combat knowledge is like a vast ocean, which broadens their horizons and also gains a further understanding of air combat.

Over the large hangar at the Qasim Air Base, two huge yellow balloons and another slightly changed their guard.

These are three observation balloons, placed in triangle shapes in the air. Each balloon has three scouts carrying small parachutes on duty. There are telephones on the balloons. The scouts hold high-power telescopes and can see the airspace within 50 kilometers around Pearl Harbor. These three balloons are also landmarks, controlling the coming and going civil aviation passenger planes.

In the morning, there were no civil aviation passenger planes above Pearl Harbor. Three soldiers who had just woken up were drowsy on it. The Sunday carnival made them a little tired. The air climate was pleasant, which was a good time to cultivate one's body and sleep.

Several sleepy soldiers suddenly heard the roar of large numbers of fighter planes in the air. They quickly picked up the hats covered on their faces and looked around. They saw the fighter planes of two squadrons take off from the Pearl Harbor base, so they continued to doze off with cursing.

25 fighter jets entered the air of 3,000 meters. Zhou Zhihan looked around. There was not even a single balloon around Pearl Harbor. You can imagine how proud and arrogant the Americans were. In their hearts, it is impossible for any country in this world to have the strength to attack Pearl Harbor.

So apart from looking at the balloon, there is no other air defense in the entire Pearl Harbor. The reconnaissance pilots on the ground probably have to wait for breakfast, then have coffee and chat, and finally fly around the sky and do business.

The weather near Wahu Island is full of rain. From here, the scenery is very beautiful, with endless coastlines, blue seas, velvet sky, and golden sand beaches, as poetic and picturesque.

Since he arrived at Pearl Harbor, Zhou Zhihan carefully observed the climate of Pearl Harbor every day, especially the clouds above Oahu, and he observed more carefully.

From dawn to before 9 o'clock, the tops of the mountains on Oahu Island were mostly covered with clouds. After 9 o'clock, the clouds gradually evacuated. After 10 o'clock, the weather was mostly very clear. After 3 o'clock, there were many remaining clouds wandering in the air.

Pearl Harbor, the US Pacific Fleet ships, still leave the port every Monday and return to the port at the latest Saturday. The Tianbu area of ​​large ships is around Oahu, and battleships dock together in pairs. At least 2 to 3 aircraft carriers perform training in the waters of Hawaii every week.

Zhou Zhihan has been here for a long time and has never seen mines installed at Pearl Harbor. However, there are underwater iron nets for preventing submarines on the deep waters around Pearl Harbor and on the necessary waterways. There are mines on the iron nets and destroyers defense in the inner circle.

The fighter flew over the top of the mountains on Oahu Island and continued to move forward. After flying for more than ten minutes, the two squadrons suddenly separated to both sides and pulled into the air to find the best position. Next, they will start simulated air combat and simulated intercepting enemy bombers.

At this time, all fighter jets did not carry ammunition. Zhou Zhihan believed that the time had not come. The most important thing now was to practice the defensive formation and increase the pilot's survivability in the air. After all, if you want to intercept Japanese torpedo planes and bombers, Zero fighters are a hurdle that cannot be overcome.

What Zhou Zhihan led everyone to practice was how when the Japanese attack aircraft group appeared, two squadrons of American fighters disrupted the offensive rhythm and offensive formation of Japanese torpedo aircraft and bombers under the interference of Zero fighters.
